  1. The L.C.M. of two numbers is 20 times their H.C.F. The sum of H.C.F. and L.C.M. is 2520. If one of the number is 480, the other number is :
    1. 400
    2. 480
    3. 520
    4. 600
Correct Option: D

Let the H.C.F. be H.
According to question ,
∴ L.C.M. = 20H
and H + 20H = 2520
⇒ 21 H = 2520

⇒ H =
2520
= 120
21

∴ L.C.M. = 20H = 20 × 120 = 2400
We can find the Second number with the help of given formula ,
First number × Second number = L.C.M. × H.C.F.
⇒ 480 × Second number = 2400 × 120
⇒ Second number =
2400 × 120
= 600
480
